This isn’t a list of the hottest acquisition titles, which will be forthcoming closer to the festival as the first week of September nears.

There’s a non-traditional biopic, a zombie movie, a Civil War-era thriller, a movie borne out of a podcast, dramas about chess and eviction and a couple of high-minded comedies, among other titles.

Sneider will be in Toronto this year with editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman and Steve Pond, and although the festival is still a few weeks away, TheWrap wants to shine a light on some of the more exciting titles in the midst of August doldrums.

Watch the video to see which 10 tickets Sneider will be on the prowl for north of the border. The festival begins Sept. 4.
